About

In a chance meeting in Dublin back in 2005 at POD nightclub. Australian born Jason, was peddling mixtapes of breaks and beats and got chatting to Barry who was handing out flyers for the Irish Capitals club nights. Sparked by their passion for music, it was very soon after that, the DJ’s linked up and began making music as a duo.

Seizing opportunity, in 2011 they formed Irish Moss Records, Ireland’s first label dedicated to contemporary Reggae and Bass Music. The ambitious endeavour spawned a movement and has since welcomed a number of collaborations with artists from around the globe including Topcat, Kenny Ken, DJ Vadim, Fort Knox Five, Parly B, LionDub, Marcus Visionary and Zion Train to mention only a selection of their lengthy discography.

In a follow up to debut album “Fire It up” (2013) featuring Burro Banton, Danny Red and UK Hip Hop hero Mystro among others. October 2015 welcomed sophomore long player and latest release “Special Request” Show-casing fifteen collaborations, including tracks with Soom T, Daddy Freddy, Mr. Williamz and Demolition Man to name just a few.
